Things I’d Love to Make, But Probably Never Will

Does it seem as though the whole world has fallen deeply, madly in love… with Pinterest?
I love it too. Sometimes just looking at all of those bright, shiny ideas of what I could cook, organize, create or decorate just fills my little heart with glee.

When I was a teenager, I learned some pretty wise words of uh… wisdom from Poison’s Brett Michaels. Sing it Brett!
Every rose has its thorn,
Just like every night has its dawn,

  6. I will NOT go to Pinterest. I won’t, I won’t, I won’t. You can’t make me. You can’t cajole me. I have been avoiding it at all costs. I won’t get sucked in. Nope. I refuse. Please don’t temp me.
    Ok, which one….. the garland because it’s something I would do so I’d like to see how yours comes out. But, I’d really love to see that ruffle shirt!

  7. I would probably pick the first one – the heart garland or the knotted heart ‘wreath’

  8. I can so relate with you about the Pinterest thing. I’m so hooked to it. Plus, I’ve also been thinking quite a lot like you, ‘just seeing it makes me feel creative’. So, it was actually a blessing that I stumbled upon this site. Because the projects the you planned to do where absolutely adorable I think I’m going to try and do the ruffle skirt. Thanks for posting! Love it!
